<h2>Environments</h2>


<p>LaTeX provides a number of different paragraph-making

    environments. Each environment begins and ends in the same manner.</p>





<pre>

     \begin{environment-name}

     ....

     ....

     \end{environment-name}

</pre>


<p>Blank lines before the <tt>\begin{}</tt> or after the

    <tt>\end{}</tt> cause a paragraph break before or after the

    environment. Blank lines after the <tt>\begin{}</tt> or before

    the <tt>\end{}</tt> are ignored.</p>


<p>All <a href="declarations.html">declarations</a> have an

    environment of the same name. However, the reverse does not

    always work. For example, <tt>{\abstract Abstract text ... .}</tt>

    may not give correct paragraph breaks.</p>
